Reading A Feast for Crows (fourth book in the A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones series) and wondering why almost every character I like seems to slowly go crazy/sink into bottomless pit of despair/die.

Right now, I am writing this message. Just like right now for you, you are reading this message. In fact, right now I am typing even more of these words and making you read them. It's wierd that I am writing this right now but to me, these are words that you will read in the future but when you read them they will in fact be right now. crazy right? I am now about to hit the button.
